Murray Long Builders Ltd

About

He aha te mea nui o te ao. He tāngata, he tāngata, he tāngata. What is the most important thing in the world? It is people, it is people, it is people.

Our number one value as a business is ‘People Matter’, this is the substance behind ‘Enjoy building your home!’ The people we have on our team and the contractors we engage align to this value which results in both our team and our clients feeling valued and respected throughout the build.

Murray Long – Director

As director of MLB, Murray’s role is more than simply being the boss or solving problems — but also being the culture-setter. Learning how to handle those responsibilities well doesn’t happen overnight. In Murray’s case it didn’t have to, he began the company in 1996, so you might say the culture has grown around him. It’s the thing Murray is most proud of in MLB — the team culture and their desire to do the best possible work.

At the heart of this culture is the passion to build outstanding houses for clients who appreciate that level of detail. Being part of seeing designs unfold over the months of a build and seeing people’s eyes light up as they walk into a new space, or see some detail that has just been finished, or welcoming a family into their new home is something you can’t describe and what drives Murray to lead this team.

Murray’s dream home is a retreat away from the crowds with his family, one that looks out over the coast. But his favourite house among those built by his company is, no surprise, his own family home. ‘You get to live in what you have created,’ Murray says.

Testimonials

I found Murray Long Builders to be extremely professional and helpful. Their work was of an extremely high standard and all work was completed in a timely and efficient manner. They were readily available to answer any queries I had.

Allan MacLachlan and Derryl Hayman

We highly recommend Murray Long and his team.
They took the architect’s plans for extensive changes to our 100 year old villa, made some suggestions for improvements, and went ahead and created a reality that was better than we had hoped for.
We found Murray and his team knowledgeable (particularly given the age and character of our house), always approachable and helpful, and very professional. When the unexpected happened - as does with old homes - his team was quick to identify reasonable solutions and their impacts. They finished the job on schedule and at a fair price.
We enjoyed what is normally a very stressful experience and would work with them again anytime.

Stu and Jan — Kingsland

I have used Murray Long Builders on two occasions initially to build my house in Titirangi and more recently to complete an addition to the property. On both occasions I found them to be extremely professional and helpful. The work was of an extremely high standard and all work was completed in a timely and efficient manner. I found Murray and his team to be very helpful in working through the whole building process and they were readily available to answer any queries I had throughout and after the building. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone intending to build or renovate a home.

Grant and Brenda —Titirangi

Murray Long Builders completely rebuilt our house in a project that started in February and finished in October 2016, we have nothing but high praise for Murray and his team. They were diligent, friendly, and professional. Nothing was ever a problem, they keep us update with regular communication by email and face to face at site meetings. They worked very well with our architect and the finished work was of the highest standard. We seriously can recommend them.
